Getting an upgraded van...help

REC said:
Well, we have just put a deposit on a 2017 demo model Tribute 670. Decided on this as we can have the rear as a lounge or leave made as double bed. Oven, grill and hob also whereas many only had two or three tiny rings. 5.99m did seem less tight than the 5.47m although I am still a bit wary about the length, Dave is very happy with the extra space. Refillable gas tank was also a bonus and we managed to persuade them to include a fitted awning and a couple of other bits too. Do not want to pick it up till after our trip to Thailand and new Zealand but mid Feb it will be ours! Our son is getting our self conversation van as a birthday present...so all happy!

Good stuff!

Which refillable gas system does it have? Was that factory fitted? Interesting development if so!

It comes with a fitted tank....takes 25kg (I think!) Don't know anything about it, but seemed a good idea! Apparently there is an isolation switch for when travelling on the tunnel of ferry.
 
Our first motorhome was a brand new 6 mtr rapido with a fixed bed. We quickly realised we had made a mistake. A fixed bed in a 6 mtr van takes up far too much room however it's configured. We found a Rapido A class with a huge pull down way better. On long trips you will find your daytime space very cramped.
PS Don't buy anything built in UK German or French or even Italian.UK built will be ok if you just want to potter around UK in the summer. We've wildcamped in the alps with temperature down to -20c we kept warm and nothing froze.. Don't buy at a show. The salesmen are brilliant and will tell you the current fantastic offer will only last for the next 5 minutes. Crap.
